Intraoral Drug Delivery: Bridging the Gap Between Academic Research and Industrial Innovations

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Intraoral drug delivery offers a promising route for systemic and localized therapies, yet challenges such as enzymatic degradation, limited permeability, and microbial interactions hinder efficacy. This figure highlights innovative strategies—mucoadhesive materials, enzyme inhibitors, and permeation enhancers—to overcome these barriers.

HSP47 in human diseases: Navigating pathophysiology, diagnosis and therapy

Clinical and Translational Medicine
Heat shock protein 47 (HSP47) is a chaperone protein responsible for regulating collagen maturation and transport, directly impacting collagen synthesis levels. Aberrant HSP47 expression or malfunction has been associated with collagen‐related disorders,

Experience in the use of wound-healing collagen dressings in the complex treatment of venous trophic ulcers

Лечащий Врач
Background. Venous trophic ulcers are a typical manifestation of decompensation of chronic venous insufficiency of the lower extremities. The causes of venous trophic ulcers are chronic vein diseases such as varicose veins of the lower limbs, pelvis ...

Collagen XVII: A Shared Antigen in Neurodermatological Interactions?

Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2013
Collagen XVII is a nonfibril-forming transmembrane collagen, which functions as both a matrix protein and a cell-surface receptor. It is particularly copious in the skin, where it is known to be a structural component of hemidesmosomes.

Intercellular contact is sufficient to drive Fibroblast to Myofibroblast transitions [PDF]

arXiv
Fibroblast cells play a key role in maintaining the extracellular matrix. During wound healing, fibroblasts differentiate into highly contractile myofibroblasts, which secrete extracellular matrix proteins like collagen to facilitate tissue repair. Under normal conditions, myofibroblasts undergo programmed cell death after healing to prevent excessive ...

Collagen VIII in vascular diseases

Matrix Biology
Collagens have dual functions in the extracellular matrix (ECM), acting as both structural components and signaling molecules in matricellular communication. Although collagen molecules share a common triple helix motif, the supramolecular organization helps classify them into nearly 30 different types of collagens.

3D (Bio) Printing Combined Fiber Fabrication Methods for Tissue Engineering Applications: Possibilities and Limitations

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...

Flow‐Induced Vascular Remodeling on‐Chip: Implications for Anti‐VEGF Therapy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Flow‐induced vascular remodeling plays a critical role in network stabilization and function. Using a vasculature‐on‐chip system, this study reveals how physiological VEGF levels and flow affect vascular remodeling and provides insights into tumor vessel normalization.

Collagen Injections for Rotator Cuff Diseases: A Systematic Review

Clinics and Practice
Background: Because of its anatomy and function, the rotator cuff (RC) is vulnerable to considerable morbidity. The prevalence of RC diseases (RCDs) among the general population is 5–39%, reaching over 30% in patients older than 60.
